TIE-41506 User Experience in Robotics, 5 cr

Implementation TIE-41506 2019-01

Description

After passing this course, the student can identify the important aspects of user experience in human-robot interaction and apply this knowledge in robotics design. The student is also familiar with current research in robotics and can write a scientific report of their own design work.

Topics covered on the lectures include basics of human-robot interaction, collaborative robotics, social and service robots, persuasive robots, cross-cultural aspects of robotics, human-centered design aspects of AI, and user experience of programming and controlling robots. The exercise sessions focus on hands-on user experience and interaction design activities as a part of a group assignment, which leads the student through a process of robotics concept design and evaluation.

A student must have taken a course on the basics of user experience, such as "TIE-04101 Käyttäjäkokemuksen perusteet" or equivalent course in English prior to this course. The course "TIE-40106 Psychology of Pervasive Computing" is highly recommended.
